The Essential Yoga Sutras
Through stories, textual analysis, and the break down of key sanskrit verses we will get a thorough introduction to this essential yogic text.  As we explore Patanjali's articulation of the yogic path we will continually look for relevance to our own modern lives while not diluting the authentic and deep wisdom of the original text. Areas of focus:

  • How the Yoga Sutras explains suffering and how to be free of suffering. 
  • A selection of sutra verses that every teacher should know and be able to comment on.
  • The eight limbs of yoga
  • The five mentally afflicted states
  • Exploring what ignorance really is and the way Master Patanjali proposes of eliminating ignorance and achieving a liberated state.
  • An introduction into the Yamas and Niyamas
  • Understanding the flow of the Yoga Sutras

Everyone is welcome!
